Ernest Cline
I created the OASIS because I never felt at home in the real world. I didn't know how to connect with the people there.
Ernest Cline
I feel like I was hit by all of geek culture at once while I was growing up in the '70s and '80s. Saturday morning cartoons like 'Star Blazers' and 'Robotech.' Live action Japanese shows like 'Ultraman' and 'The Space Giants.'
Ernest Cline
I was obsessed. I wouldn't quit. My grades suffered. I didn't care.
Ernest Cline
A river of words flowed between us.

Ernest Cline
I'm incredibly nostalgic for the '80s, because I think that's when Geek Culture really kicked in to high gear.
Ernest Cline
The clans began to bombard the outer force field with rockets, missiles, nukes, and harsh language.
Ernest Cline
I have to avoid things like 'World of Warcraft' or 'Minecraft', otherwise I'd never get any work done.
Ernest Cline
It's so much better to hand over a finished book than having all these people waiting.
Ernest Cline
I burned through all of my extra lives in a matter of minutes, and my two least-favorite words appeared on the screen: GAME OVER.
Ernest Cline
My favorite video game of all time is called 'Black Tiger'. It's a Capcom Dungeons and Dragons game from 1987. I have the actual arcade version sitting in my office.
Ernest Cline
Being human totally sucks most of the time. Videogames are the only thing that make life bearable.
Ernest Cline
...now that everyone could vote from home, via the OASIS, the only people who could get elected were movie stars, reality TV personalities, or radical televangelists.
Ernest Cline
Everybody has this fond association with the car from Back to the Future, but most people have never seen one. I've seen people drive off the berm trying to take pictures. It ends up being dangerous.
